While the district's performance is generally strong, there are some areas for potential improvement, such as the slightly lower performance of the middle school in 8th-grade mathematics and the higher rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility at the Primary Center and Early Learning Center, which may indicate a need to address equity and access issues for younger students.
